Dating Trends During Venus Retrograde

Spring is in the air, the flowers are blooming, and cuffing season? Officially over. It’s time to shake off winter’s cozy clinginess and step into full flirt mode. But—plot twist—Venus retrograde (March 1–April 12) is about to throw a little cosmic drama into the mix. With Aries and Pisces in the spotlight, expect some serious push-and-pull energy in your love life. One minute, you’re ready to swipe right on anything with a pulse. The next? You’re second-guessing everything, deep in an "Am I too much?" spiral—or worse, texting your ex (again). And with Mercury retrograde making a surprise guest appearance, expect past romances, old insecurities, and messy mixed signals to stir things up even more. So, how do you navigate all this astrological chaos and still thrive in the dating scene? Easy—by playing the game on your terms. Each zodiac sign has its own go-to dating strategy this season, and whether you’re switching up your type, reclaiming your independence, or making a power move, we’ve got the perfect approach for you. Read on to find out how to use the stars (and your undeniable charm) to your advantage.

Pisces: Soft Dating

Sometimes, you get enchanted in the fairytale, seeing love through your rose-colored glasses. But right now? Keep it fun, flirty, and commitment-light. Play the field, embrace the thrill, and let the dating scene work its magic. The best part? When that one special someone finally catches your eye, they'll be the kind who truly lifts your spirits—no glass slipper required.

Aries: Wash & Repeat

New person, same type, same story. You keep hoping this one will be different—but spoiler alert: if their exes all have the same war stories, your ending won’t be any different. Time to break the cycle! Trust your intuition, dodge the red flags, and go for someone who actually shakes things up. P.S. slipping into a little Venus Lace Teddy won’t hurt either.

Taurus: St-ick-ing

Getting out of your comfort zone? Not your thing. You’re the ultimate ride-or-die—sometimes too much so. If you’ve been mentally packing your bags but waiting for your S.O. to call it quits first, consider this your sign to take the leap. Deep down, you know it’s time to move on (and, let’s be real, time to upgrade your lingerie drawer on the way out).

Gemini: Yap-Trapping

You don't like it when others dominate the conversation. Dating someone who talks nonstop won’t fly with a Gemini. So you'll have to set rules in how you communicate (such as the person holding the magic wand can talk when it’s in their possession) or choose a strong, silent type. Alternately, there’s always the toys in our pleasure section…

Cancer: Dating Yourself

You’re a vault when it comes to keeping secrets—especially when it comes to protecting your romantic partner. Trauma bonding might make things feel deep, but watch out for those codependent vibes creeping in. Instead of merging into a two-person emotional support group, focus on carving out your own identity. Start with some silk undies—because nothing says self-love like luxe lingerie.

Leo: Throning

Usually, you’re the one people chase for status. But plot twist: now you want someone with a little extra shine. Clout, charisma, and being at the top of their game? That’s what has your interest right now. Shared hobbies and interests can come later—you’re focused on a power couple glow-up.

Virgo: Micro-mance

Love bombing? Been there, never doing that again. This time around, you’re taking things slow and steady, keeping your flirt game light and playful. Memes, inside jokes, and shared TikToks are your new love language. No need to pour your heart out just yet—save that Fidelia lingerie set for someone who actually earns it.

Libra: Riding It Out

You’ve penciled in your breakup right after cuffing season ends, but for now? You’re still along for the ride. Strategizing the perfect French exit is your specialty, and as long as you’re the one calling the shots, what’s the harm? Might as well browse some fresh lingerie sets while you wait for the right moment to make your move.

Scorpio: Loud Looking

You tend to be quietly elusive about what you're looking for in romance.It’s time to be bold, be clear, and tell them exactly what you want. Loud looking means no more mixed signals—just straight-up seduction. And if words fail you, a pair of Ouvert Panties should get the message across.

Sagittarius: Dating Wrapped

Reflection? Not your usual vibe—but lately, you’re actually looking back on where you went wrong with your exes, so you don’t make the same mistakes again. A little closure, a little wisdom, and a new date-night dress to kick off your fresh chapter will do the trick.

Capricorn: Less is more

You usually lead with polished perfection, putting on a show to impress. But lately? You’re over the superficiality. You want someone who vibes with the real you, not just your curated highlight reel. So, say goodbye to the over-the-top glam and hello to a sleek T-Shirt Bodysuit—because effortless confidence is way sexier.

Aquarius: In-Person Dating

Your best matches are usually found in a WiFi signal, but IRL romance is calling—and honestly, you’re into it. Swiping left on online dating for a bit might just lead to your ideal match in person (through a friend, at a bar, or totally by chance). FaceTime and DMs can wait—first, grab a flirty mini-dress and make an entrance.
